[opensuse] Nvidia Backlight Control - Can't find anything at software.opensuse.org?
by David C. Rankin 12 Jan '17

12 Jan '17

All, Installed leap 42.2 with the nvidia drivers. Upon install of the drivers, I lost backlight control (which was by manually updating the nouveau provided /sys/class/backlight/nv_backlight/brightness interface). With the nvidia driver installed, /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0 remains, but doesn't provide backlight control (I don't expect it to). With the same setup on arch, we generally use either the nvidia_bl or nvidiabl 3rd party packages[1] to provide a /sys/class/backlight/nvidia_backlight interface that then works as the nouveau provided interface (nv_backlight) did. The only difference I'm seeing with opensuse, is the values in acpi_video0/brightness no longer change when using my laptop hotkeys, ctrl+F9 (lower) and crtl+F10(raise). (on arch, I simply used inotifywait to watch for changes on acpi_video0/brightness and then scaled the values and updated nvidia_backlight/brightness to provide backlight control via the hotkeys) Does anyone know of a buildservice package to control the backlight on laptops with the nvidia driver installed? Anybody have another way of getting backlight control? (this laptop is blinding without brightness set to 50%) Footnote [1]: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/NVIDIA/Tips_and_tricks#Enabling_bright… https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/nvidia-bl/ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/nvidiabl/ -- David C.

[opensuse] Leap 42.2 - journal gnome-keyring-daemon: couldn't initialize slot with master password??
by David C. Rankin 12 Jan '17

12 Jan '17

All, Help? I was looking at the journal on Leap 42.2 trying to minimize the chatter going to it. The first issue I find is: Jan 04 21:49:23 wizard gnome-keyring-daemon[10899]: couldn't initialize slot with master password: The password or PIN is incorrect What?? I'm running kde3, all is working great. Why are my logs filling with gnome-keyring-daemon messages? Better yet, how do I fix this and turn these messages off? Checking the processes, I find: /usr/bin/gnome-keyring-daemon --start --foreground --components=secrets Great. I didn't start this explicitly and I'm not sure what else did. I have FF and Tbird running. Other than that, it's just kate, kwrite, konsole and konqueror. (Tbird is running without account or enigmail error, so it's not trying to log in) None of the sites in FF are complaining. What can I check to get rid of these messages. Next, the kernel firewall logging is quite chatty. When following the journal, I get repeated messages of the type: Jan 05 00:46:55 wizard kernel: SFW2-INext-DROP-DEFLT IN=wlan0 OUT= MAC=... What is the trick to toning down the kernel messages? I'm happy to live without the firewall logging unless I want to enable it to look at a problem. I've limited the journal size to 50M with SystemMaxUse=50M, but I would like to save that 50M for something other than firewall chatter. Any tips on this one? -- David C.

[opensuse] My mini server fails to boot after yast online update
by Carlos E. R. 12 Jan '17

12 Jan '17

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I have a small MSI Cubi N machine that I use as home server and multimedia server on my workroom, with Leap 42.1. I applied with yast a month worth of updated, which included a kernel, and rebooted. It failed. I got the MSI logo, then blank screen. I don't think it gets to grub. If at the MSI logo I press "Del" I get the Bios configuration page. If I plug the installation USB, I can boot that one, theh choose "boot from hard disk", which works. The system is currently running. The machine is UEFI. How do I diagnose this? I got some info: Boot Info Script 0.75 [14 November 2016] ============================= Boot Info Summary: =============================== => No boot loader is installed in the MBR of /dev/sda. => libparted MBR boot code is installed in the MBR of /dev/sdb. => libparted MBR boot code is installed in the MBR of /dev/sdc. sda1: __________________________________________________________________________ File system: vfat Boot sector type: FAT16 Boot sector info: No errors found in the Boot Parameter Block.

No boot loader in MBR of sda? That's the boot disk. It is the only UEFI machine I have, so I can't compare. - -- Cheers Carlos E. R.

[opensuse] Leap 42.2: WLAN AP and bridging setup
by pit 11 Jan '17

11 Jan '17

Hi, my small home server (a Shuttle DS47D) has two ethernet ports, eth0 is connected to the fiber modem, eth1 is my local network where the shuttle acts as DHCP/NFS/CUPS server. So far, so good. The Shuttle also has a wireless card (RTL8188CE 802.11b/g/n WiFi Adapter), and I want to set it up as an access point: While the fiber modem does have an WLAN AP, it directly connects to the outside network of our house :( So while I have internet from that, I'm 'outside' and cannot access services in my private net :( So I installed hostapd. First I had tried only hostapd, and this did not work - I was always disconnected :( I figured out I'd need to set up a bridge with eth1 and wlan0, so I could get an IP address. But when I fire up yast, to create a bridge, it only offers wlan0 and eth0 as possible interfaces for bridging. eth1 *is* visible in the overview - just not available for bridging. Would anyone know why? And does anyone have a similar setup running who could give me some hint/jumpstart?

[opensuse] apache2-mod_python on 64-bit Tumbleweed
by Roger Oberholtzer 11 Jan '17

11 Jan '17

Some python things are installed in /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages, and others in /usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages. It seems that if the package contains a binary, it is installed in /usr/lib64, while script-only packages are in /usr/lib If I import a package in the python interpreter, it looks in both places, and all seems well. However, if I try to do the same thing via mod_python in Apache2, it seems only /usr/lib64 is checked. So, a script-only package like Trac is not found. All the packages are from OBS. I cannot see where to tell mod_python to check both of these places. Are there any Apache2 mod_python users out there? -- Roger Oberholtzer -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Bug-system login gone kah-foo-ii again: please allow user to 'stay logged in' for 30 days or more
by L A Walsh 11 Jan '17

11 Jan '17

W/R/T bugzilla and logging in. Would it be possible to extend the time one is logged-in to 30 days from last activity (with option to 'log off'). I know other secure(https) sites that allow one to remain logged-in, some for multiple months, some without a stated limit, etc. It's a hindrance to people using suse logins to any of the opensuse or suse sites. I wanted to check on a bug's status that I'd updated yesterday, but was already logged out. It wouldn't be so bad if my login+password could be \allowed\ to be remembered as many other secure sites allow (amazon and my HMO's website), but maintaining the "logged-in" state and for how-many days could be a part of a user's profile. But meanwhile, extending the cookie expiration to "current-date+30" every time a user visits the site would be a great help. It would at least allow me to be "logged in", which I don't seem to be able to do, right now (though I was yesterday). Instead, I get taken to "https://esp.microfocus.com/nesp/idff/metadata" where it displays an unstyled XML document beginning with: This XML file does not appear to have any style information associated with it. The document tree is shown below. <md:EntityDescriptor id="0000-11110222-3333" providerID="https://esp.microfocus.com:443/nesp/idff/metadata"> <md:SPDescriptor id="abcde-xyz" protocolSupportEnumeration="urn:liberty:iff:2003-08"> <md:KeyDescriptor use="signing"> ... ---- Perhaps needless to say, but this prevents me from logging in again and has happened more than once in the past, sometimes with it not allowing me to login for months. If bugzilla and other suse+opensuse sites would allow me to remain logged in, then it wouldn't be so much of an issue.

I followed the suggestions here: https://www.suse.com/support/kb/doc?id=7014026 I get a mod_python test page. sys.path is: /usr/lib/python27.zip /usr/lib64/python2.7 /usr/lib64/python2.7/plat-linux2 /usr/lib64/python2.7/lib-tk /usr/lib64/python2.7/lib-old /usr/lib64/python2.7/lib-dynload /usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages /usr/local/lib64/python2.7/site-packages /usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages /usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/gtk-2.0 /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/Trac-1.2-py2.7.egg /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/TracAnnouncer-0.11.1-py2.7.egg So I do not understand why it does not find trac.

[opensuse] Oracle to bill Windows Java users. Are Linux users next?
by Anton Aylward 10 Jan '17

10 Jan '17

I came across this http://www.businessinsider.com/oracle-starts-to-audit-java-customers-2016-12 and I find it rather disturbing. I'm glad I'm a Linux user :-) Are there FOSS 'installers' for Java and Windows? Well, actually, even as a Linux user I'm nervous, since I get the Java Runtime from Oracle. They could turn around and charge for that. -- A: Yes. > Q: Are you sure? >> A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. >>> Q: Why is top posting frowned upon? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Weird kmail issue
by Tibor Attila Anca 10 Jan '17

10 Jan '17

Hello, it may not be openSUSE specific, but for the case that somebody already encountered and solved this problem: I have an imap account on a virtual platform (plesk). The account is my job account, so I cannot modify or change anything and I am sure, the provider wouldn't either. The folders are under INBOX, since the webmail access is horde-based, I think the IMAP-Server will be cyrus. Now, kmail (the recent version) does not see any emails in my inbox. Sent folder is not a problem, emails would be fetched and displayed. This is a persistent issue, even if I remove and readd the account the problem stays. Doing some research with google has led me to a kind of a workaround (toggling server side subscription). Is there any other solution known to somebody? Regards, -- Tibor I use OpenSource!
